Seventeen students took to the stage for the Final of the 2018 WynSpeak Competition on Wednesday 6 June, filling the audience with admiration at their courage, passion and skill in public speaking.

This year’s final was held in the Father Moran Performing Arts Centre at Thomas Carr College. In welcoming everyone to the school, the Prinical Dr Andrew Watson noted that Thomas Carr College had been the venue for the pilot program of WynSpeak in 2003 that was a competition for senior students only from Thomas Carr College and Westbourne Grammar School. The 2018 WynSpeak Competition attracted 80 students from 30 colleges in the western region of Melbourne.
